Omnia & SportFor players, coaches, clubs and agents
Player relocation, wherever the contract is.
For footballers, coaches and staff joining a new club in the Gulf, Europe or Asia, and for the agents and player-care teams who move them. One adviser finds the home, explains what a foreign resident can own there, and stays until the family is settled.

Who we work with
Three people make this call.
Players, coaches and staff
You have signed, and you have a reporting date. We find where to live for the training ground and the school run, and then the home itself: to own from the start, or to buy once you know the city.
Speak to the relocation desk: Players, coaches and staffClubs and player-care teams
New arrivals every window, each with a family and a date. One named adviser for all of them, briefed once, who knows what the club arranges and what it leaves to the player.
Speak to the relocation desk: Clubs and player-care teamsAgents and management firms
A property adviser for the country your client is moving to, who works to your brief, keeps it private and reports to you.

Confidentiality
Confidential from the first call.
What a client in the public eye should expect of an adviser, and what we do as standard.
Speak to the relocation deskA non-disclosure agreement first
We sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before any detail is shared: ours, or one drafted by your lawyer. With you, your representative or your agency.
One senior adviser
A single named adviser from the first call to completion. Inside Omnia, your details go only to those who need them.
Your representatives, on your terms
We deal with your agent, manager, lawyer, family office or security team, and with nobody you have not named.
Nothing public
No client is named, pictured or referred to in our marketing, our press or our social channels without written consent.
Your own advisers
We coordinate with your lawyer and your tax adviser, and introduce qualified specialists where you have none.
Where
Where we work.
Across the Gulf, Europe, the United Kingdom and South East Asia. For each market listed on this site: what a foreign buyer may own, whether a home can bring residency, and what we list today. The rules are summarised from our market guides and can change: we confirm the current position before you rely on it.

Can foreigners buy property in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. The law took effect on 22 January 2026, and the geographical zones were approved on 23 June 2026. Non-residents can own within the approved areas published through Saudi Properties, subject to the mapped rights and limits. Premium Residency is a separate residency route, and a branded residence still needs a zone and title check. In Makkah and Madinah, ownership is restricted to Muslim individuals and qualifying entities under the applicable controls.
Can buying help with residency?
It can, once the property meets the Real Estate Owner criteria. The route requires a completed, mortgage-free residential holding appraised at SAR 4 million or more. Buying inside an approved zone does not itself require Premium Residency, and a brand does not replace the property-level zone check.

Can foreigners buy property in the UAE?
Yes. Foreign buyers can own freehold in designated areas across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the northern emirates, with title registered in your name. It is one of the longest-established foreign-ownership frameworks in the Gulf.
Can buying help with residency?
It can. A qualifying property, from around AED 2m, can support a ten-year renewable Golden Visa for you and your family, held without an employer sponsor, a threshold that held through the 2026 visa reforms. Thresholds and rules can change, so we confirm the current position before you rely on it.

Can foreigners buy property in Qatar?
Yes. Foreign buyers can own freehold outright in designated areas, ten in all as of 2026, including The Pearl-Qatar, West Bay Lagoon, Lusail (where Qetaifan Island North sits) and, since June 2026, Simaisma. Title is registered in your name, and the process is straightforward with the right guidance.
Can buying help with residency?
It can. Freehold worth about QAR 730,000 (around US$200,000) opens a renewable residence permit for you and your family; from QAR 3.65m (about US$1m) you can apply for permanent residency, subject to conditions and an annual cap. Rules vary and can change.

Can foreigners buy property in Oman?
Check ownership eligibility and title for the specific home before reserving. Ask for the scheme’s approval, the exact title or usufruct instrument, and written confirmation that it is available to a buyer in your circumstances. The homes listed here do not all use the same ownership route.
Can buying help with residency?
The Royal Oman Police provides a two-year residence-visa service for owners of residential units in Integrated Tourism Complexes. Separately, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion describes a renewable ten-year Golden Residency programme with a minimum investment of OMR 200,000; its property route covers ready-made units in ITCs. Confirm the applicable route, the specific home and the application requirements before relying on residency as part of a purchase.

Can foreigners buy property in Montenegro?
Yes. Foreign individuals can own apartments and most land freehold directly, on the same footing as locals for built property. Agricultural and forest land, islands and a strip within about a kilometre of the state border carry conditions, and are sometimes held through a local company. We confirm the position for each home before you proceed.
Can buying help with residency?
It can. Owning a home worth at least €150,000 (a threshold introduced in January 2026) can support a temporary residence permit, renewable while you hold the property, for you and your family; EU, EEA and Swiss nationals are exempt from the minimum. It is a route to residency, not citizenship: the former investment-citizenship scheme closed at the end of 2022. Rules vary and can change.

Speak to the relocation deskSaudi Arabia in detail
What a foreign player can own in Saudi Arabia.
The questions a move to the Kingdom raises first, answered from the law as published. Last checked on 29 October 2026.
Check your own case, with its sourcesI have residency through my club. Can I buy a home?
A non-Saudi legally resident in the Kingdom may also own one property outside the zones, as their own residence, except in Makkah and Madinah.
A spouse and non-Saudi children count with the buyer: none of them may own a separate home this way unless the marriage ends or the child turns 25.
Inside a designated zone, a non-Saudi may own property or acquire other rights in rem.
Can I buy before I arrive?
Inside a designated zone, a non-Saudi may own property or acquire other rights in rem.
Before buying, a non-resident needs a Saudi digital identity, a bank account in the Kingdom in their own name, and a Saudi phone number in their name linked to that identity.
Each zone sets its own property uses, rights, ownership share and usufruct term (99 years at most so far), so the zone is checked on REGA’s map.
What does it cost on top of the price?
Real Estate Transaction Tax: 5% of the value of each sale, separate from REGA’s fee. The seller is liable for it; the buyer can be held jointly liable.
REGA’s fee: 2% of the value when a non-Saudi later sells or otherwise disposes of the property in the city of Riyadh, Jeddah Governorate, Makkah or Madinah.
Does owning a home bring residency for my family?
Owning property gives no rights beyond those of an owner: it does not by itself bring residency.
Premium Residency for real estate owners: residential property worth SAR 4 million or more, owned or held under a usufruct.
The home must be built and ready to live in; land, developed or not, does not count.
It must be free of any mortgage, now and after the residency is granted, and not bought with property finance.
Family can be included: a spouse, parents and children under 25.
How is the purchase made official?
Speak to the relocation deskThe application goes through REGA’s Saudi Properties portal, linked to the Real Estate Registry.
Every payment for the purchase is made electronically, under the Saudi Central Bank’s payments rules.
Ownership takes effect on registration in the Real Estate Registry.

For agencies and firms
We partner with the people who represent you.
Sports agencies, talent and artist management, business managers, family offices and concierge firms work with Omnia under a written agreement and an NDA: one adviser for every client they look after.
How a move runs
From the first call to the keys.
The brief
A call with the player, the agent or the club’s player-care lead: the reporting date, the training ground, the family, the schools, how private the address must be.
Where to live
A short list of neighbourhoods, each explained: the drive to training, the schools nearby, and what homes there cost to rent and to buy.
The home
Viewings in person or by video. We compare the property, the payment terms and the costs of owning it, and say plainly which we would choose.
The paperwork
The purchase is coordinated with your lawyer and registered in your name. Where residency is the aim, a qualified immigration specialist assesses it.
Settled
Introductions to interior designers, property managers and letting specialists, and the same adviser when the next contract comes.
